(note: this is only part of the solution for me, I also want an entry which was made on the activity stream also as a wordpress comment…) — there is a plugin for that and i installed it and it worked for me…
i think the right one is “BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments”
google indexing my site does not make blog comments appear in the activity stream though…
@marutim Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you need to change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your flare theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your flare theme folder in server, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
`
with the following:
`
<div id="precontent" class="”>
<div id="content" class="”>
<article id="post-” >
`
Then, in each of 16 files, you’d like to change the BP Templates’ page title’s header tag from `
…
` or `
..
` to
`
`
where applicable, then move this to just right UNDER “ Just watch out when you do this in the /activity/index.php page.
Save files.
If you deactivate BP and create a blog/subsite from the backend, can you go to the newly created blog? If not, then you have to resolve the issue first at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
in my case, it was resolved by letting google index the website, in settings – privacy.
No idea why, but now it works!
(note: this is only part of the solution for me, I also want an entry which was made on the activity stream also as a wordpress comment…)
Can you go to Appearance > Themes? If not, I would re-upload WordPress manually. If you created WP via webhost script — fantastico, softalicious, etc — then I suggest you start from scratch and install WP manually https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install
If that doesn’t work, please start a new topic as this thread deals specifically with the Sahifa theme compatibility with BP.
I didnt understand much of your question but as per I understood it.
There are wordpress functions to know if the user is logged in or not and to know the current page.

Hope it helps 
@Paul,
If I get a WordPress user import/export plugin, what else should I be considering for the extra, missing profile data? Manual entry?
Thanks.
No, please don’t take it wrong.. I’m not expecting BuddyPress to be exactly what I want..
I’m new here and I’m not expecting much.. Please don’t feel like being forced by me or something like that..
I’m just interested in BuddyPress and very excited to know more about the concept of this special plugin.. I notice that BuddyPress is ‘more than just another WordPress plugin’.
Err…, so based on your answers, as you said, @modemlooper , can we conclude as below :
BuddyPress is ONLY aggregates WordPress content… but this plugin is not deeply integrated with WordPress content.
BuddyPress is sitting on WordPress CMS platform, without following how WordPress’ system in managing users and content.
BuddyPress plugin adds user relationships to WordPress, but that relationships has nothing to do with WordPress content and user management..”
(In my opinion, I’m just thinking that it should be great if in the future BuddyPress is more integrated with WordPress. But that’s just my opinion.. It’s only a feedback from me to this community.. that’s okay.. Just don’t take it wrong).
In your theme, you can use the is_user_logged_in() function to show content to only logged-in users.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in
Take a look at this, might do everything you need:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/
Note – It can have minor conflicts (mainly css, afaik) with other plugins.
Or you can use the
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
I’ve used that api to create things like “Team Sheets” within a group / league.
You can do a lot with it, if you can program.
Yes, WP + BP users are the same. Yes to WP/BP profile data in different places.
As I’ve said in another thread of yours, admins can edit all BuddyPress information from the front-end of your site. The codex is probably as good as it gets unless someone’s written a blog post, or if you can find an old post on this forum.
It’s split like this because BuddyPress’ profile system is more powerful and therefore complicated than WordPress’, and it wasn’t possible to use the WordPress database tables for BuddyPress profile data.
I’m not aware of any existing plugins that do CSV import for BuddyPress profile information, or any that do BuddyPress profile export. If you’re just looking to import WordPress user data, there might be something on the WordPress.org plugins directory.
Admin users can already change any users’ profile data via the front-end, not wp-admin. We’re building out screens in wp-admin; in 1.6, we added an Activity admin area, and in 1.7, we’re introducing groups. It’s not as quick or easy as “add it to the WordPress user profile admin”.
I suspect in future we’ll probably just link to WordPress.org.
I am also interested in this.
Guys, I am a newbie but I found this functionality in plugin “BP Posts on Profile” – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-posts-on-profile/
It’s two years old, but it works.
FYI, it displays post links as per their WordPress loop presentation (ie. large headline and excerpt, per the BP Default theme) rather than with smaller text as though in the Activity stream.
Yes they are using a WordPress ratings plugin because that’s all they need. A BuddyPress user IS a WordPress user. BuddyPress just makes it easier to make WP content more social. a lot of WP plugins work with BP like the ratings plugin. Your expecting BuddyPress to be exactly what YOU want OOTB. It should only give you building blocks to achieve your goal and it does. The reason I showed you Tasty Kitchen is that its a perfect example of they had a site that users added posts(recipes) with ratings. Nothing new here WordPress gives you this through various plugins. They then used BuddyPress to aggregate user content and allow user relationships.
As a newbie, I’m finding it bizarre that the system apparently keeps two separate sets of user profile data in two different parts of the world – standard WordPress user stuff and BuddyPress stuff. Right?
Authors post recipes, and user read and discuss that recipes.. That’s basic function of WordPress, (not BuddyPress..).
Tasty Kitchen uses WordPress plugin WP-PostRatings so their users can rate a post by an author.. That’s a WordPress plugin, (not exclusive to BuddyPress..).
What I’d like to say is:
such a basic social feature between authors and readers (which needed by sites like Tasty Kitchen) should be covered by BuddyPress default.
Yes, in WordPress Repository both the last update date and the warning labels are shown..
Maybe WordPress just want to emphasized the invalidity of old plugins ?
love the concept.. In my opinion, navigation on the right side should be moved to left side..
Let articles on the right side.. and advertisement space can be inserted between articles..
Lately people is getting familiar with sites like Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Blogspot interface layouts which put navigation on the left column..
Just my opinion.. But nice concept anyway..
Okay, thanks for replying @Modemlooper ,
So the goal of this community in creating BuddyPress is just to create a common social-network platform for everyone.. right?
So anyone are free to extend its functionality..
(they can create their MySpace, they can create their Facebook, and so on..)
BuddyPress uses WordPress CMS as platform and follows WordPress’ open source philosophy,
but BuddyPress has nothing to do with how WordPress manages users and content.. (as admin, editor, contributor, reader…)
If WordPress fans need to add social features to their WordPress authoring activities, they should extend BuddyPress functionality themselves to accomplish this..
Let’s say if WordPress bloggers need to add like button for post and follow/unfollow feature for favorite authors.. they should tweak BuddyPress functionality themselves or find a plugin for this..
Is it right?
